To Aru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Discussion (Archives)

[Master Assassin]

... I feel stuck on honorifics... I still can't get what Itsuwa uses to call Touma (apart from the plain "anata" ) or describe him in his absence. Let's see, Index calls him "Touma" (even if Touma is not around), Mikoto "You ('anta')" or (in his absence) "That guy (koitsu)," Kaori uses his full name almost every single time I guess... but... Itsuwa...

I need this very tiny bit of info because I'm working on something. Not gonna reveal it until it's done though. (I'm starting to lose heart in it because I lack this minor info in knowledge, what a sad guy I am )

edit: decided to go on without Itsuwa anyway. but this very petty detail would be delightful to learn of. ;3

Take your pick.

Accelerator shrugging off a nuke appears in so many offhand monologues that it's hard to pinpoint one for you. Chances are you can look into vol 3, 5 and 12 where Accelerator had a important role to play.

Vol 03 - Creating a massive ball of Plasma by compressing wind.
Vol 05 - Memorizing thousands of codes and rewriting them out of Last Order.
Vol 13 - Using the spin velocity of the Earth to throw a concrete wall.

not just that. lots of redundant personal opinion that breaks up the information. lots of biased comments too. And maybe a little too much misleading information and speculations to be taken seriously as a reference source.

note that a guy calculated the power of the impact of said concrete wall against the winwoless building: it was around 2 exatons of TNT, that is, enough to destroy the Earth

as for why it not only didn't destroy the planet, but didn't even left a scratch on the windowless building is either a case of you fail physics forever on kamachi's part, or it has something to do with the windowless building being in a different dimension or something like that...either way, a major ass pull...

My take on that wall-throwing is that Accelerator basically stopped the wall from being bound by the rule of the Earth's vectors: any object on Earth is supposed to follow Earth's rotation so that it stays in place. What Accelerator did was like putting something between a set of gears to force it to stop moving along suddenly (I don't know how to explain this better, sorry though)

But even then again... there's no way a force like that can still leave the Earth intact, is it?

[ZeroForever]

they did the math on 4-chan for how much energy it would require doing something like that for a mass that size.. and if it actually followed the laws of physics the earth would have blown up realistically

nope, accelerator interfered with the earth's rotation, not just the wall. What accelerator did was pretty much transfer part of the kinetic energy from the Earth's rotation into the wall...

[Satehi]

But the walls mass is a defined amount, so the only variable that he can get from the earth's energy is the acceleration, so does it really have the full power of 2 exatons or is it just a wall moving at around 1000 miles per hour? Or am I missing something about force?

The problem is the amount of energy he used to ram the wall into the windowless building , not just the wall itself.

Anyway I suppose further discussions about it can be brought here instead...

[Lummie]

Excuse me, has this already been posted?

[Hell_ping]

I'm back now... 53%. Parts 3, 4 and 5 done

@Lummie, I think I saw that somewhere, in the image thread if I remember correctly.

I've seen that around quite a few times lately, but did anybody do a clean scan of that illustration? I want to know what are those being written there (apart from the obvious title series).

Allow me to hail you as a hero, you have my thanks.

Finally Touma gets a punch in, and I'm already jumping... and she got away. More to look forward it seems.

Ah thanks, i was wondering about it because i haven't seen it in this section. Btw, Kanzaki's SS lightnovel is released and downloadable in case it hasn't been brought up here before.

[faiz blaster]

One question: what is the plot around Vol. 15? I understand that is a battle royale among gangs, but what exactly is the trigger for that fight?

[Kyosuke_Nanbu]

There is an item that all parties want so Battle Royale...

[zbh]

In China, the progress of this novel has been translated into 19 volumes。In Vol.15,every gang foght for it's own purpose,and also eliminated each other。This was the story of the dark side of college city.And in the VOL.15,the fight between NO.1 and NO.2 LEVEL5 was owesome.Accelerator defeated “桓根帝督”by his black wings.I think the black wing is the product of magic and science.

isnt it just science since its supposed to be "artificial angel"?

[zbh]

e......I think accelerator is not an angel.The black wing maybe occurred because of 3 reasons.The first,resonance of "artificial angel"---"风斩冰华“.Next,the song of Index.final,the negative emotions of accelerator.I think him a fallen angel rather than an angel. Hehe~
PS:I can speak only a little English,so sometimes there will be Chinese in my sentences.Japanese's name is also be written by Chinese,so most people should understand that maybe....

[Sixth]

For those who read the novel,

is Misaka getting weaker or overshadowed by a lot of power user in term of fighting ability or she still able to stand equal them? Simply put, how often that she jobbed so far?

and for Kuroko, did she also got her ass kicked as well as the series progress?

by the way, what is chances for Touma to end up with Misaka anyways?

[Marcus H.]

1. With artificial angels and superdimensional beings running amok, it's more likely that more powerful people are making Misaka weaker when in fact, there's really no change in her power.

2. Kuroko got her butt handed to her by another Teleporter named Awaki Musujime.

3. Very high. I'll let someone else do the explaining in Toumisaka's current status.
